Dear Principals and Administrators,

New York State’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) has released the application for the Federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program. The Request for Application (RFA) can be found here along with all the guidance and important information about the grant and how to apply.

The due date for applications is April 20th, 2023 by 5:00 pm. Any application received after the due date and time will not be considered.

You can see our previous memo here with the steps to take before applying for the grant.

CSI has a helpful PowerPoint presentation here with important tips to help you apply for the NSGP.

Highlight video from the Yeshiva Summit session on the NSGP and other security grants. The session was presented by David Pollock, Associate Executive Director & Director, Public Policy, JCRC-NY, Founder and Senior Advisor, Community Security Initiative and Rivkie Feiner, CEO and Owner, Feiner Grant Strategies.

Key takeaways from the session:

  • JCRC offers $2,500 grants to cover grant writing costs for first time applicants.
  • It’s essential to start the process early and have another pair of eyes review the application.

As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
